Welcome to GreenFolders
In the office environment of the past, paper played an integral role in office workflow. Documents were printed, placed in a folder, and then the folder was shuffled around the office as workers added and modified the documents in the folder until the folder was complete. Completed folders were stored in file cabinets or offsite storage facilities until needed again.
Today, GreenFolders has removed the need for physical paper by providing the tools needed to work with the electronic version of documents, just as was done with the physical paper. GreenFolders also empowers users and managers with features designed to improve and monitor workflow, find files and groups of files quickly and easily, share information from each folder securely, and much more.
This manual will guide you through the process of adding Attachments (Documents, etc.) to GreenFolders and working with those attachments to perform your daily functions just as you would with paper. You will learn how GreenFolders can help you manage your workflow easily and efficiently using tasks, saved searches, and many other features.
To get started working with GreenFolders view the “Quick Start Guide” or the “Table of Contents” pages.

Non-Image attachments
Non-Image files generally cannot be opened by GreenFolders and will need to be opened with the document’s native program. An example of this is a Word document. While you can add it to GreenFolders as an attachment, you cannot view the document inside GreenFolders. For files that GreenFolders cannot display, a message is displayed that GreenFolders cannot render the attachment and the “Open Attachment” button is shown. (You can choose to automatically open files with their native program by checking the “Automatically open unknown attachments in their native program” option in My Settings from the GreenFolders Menu).
[pic]
Clicking the Open Attachment button will open the file with the program that Windows associates with the file type (its native program). The file will open in read only since changes made to the document from GreenFolders will not be saved. To make changes, you will need to save a copy to your local or network drive. From there you can make changes and then re-add it to GreenFolders.

The Image Annotation Tool lets you add an image as an annotation. Clicking on the Image Annotation tool will pop up a file browser window, prompting you to choose an image to add to the annotation layer. Locate your desired image on your hard drive (or on a connected network drive), select it and click Open. Then, click on the image to embed the selected image in your annotation layer. (The maximum size is 800 x 800 pixels).
[pic] Custom Annotations/Stamps
The Custom Annotations/Stamps Tool gives you access to create and modify your custom annotations. When you click this tool, the Custom Annotation Bar appears above the viewing area.
[pic]
If this is the first time you are accessing this feature there will only be one button with a wrench icon on it. This button provides access to the Custom Annotations Window which has tools similar to the images tools. You can create a New Custom Annotation, Import/Export, Share, Rename, Delete, and Add/Remove the annotations that display on the Custom Annotation Bar.
[pic] Snippet
The Snippet Tool allows you to copy part of an image, set it as a selection in the Snippet Bar (the Snippet Bar appears above the Viewing Area) and use it like a custom stamp, or send the Snippet to the Windows Clipboard (similar to Copying) and paste it into another application such as Microsoft Word. When pasted into another application Snippets will appear as an image, any text shown in the snippet will not be editable. Snippets are reset when the user logs out.
The Annotation Menu
Once an annotation is selected you can right-click it to bring up the annotation menu. This menu allows you to perform three actions.
[pic]
Properties
Clicking the Properties menu option will open the annotations properties window. Here you have access to all properties of the annotation.
Delete
Clicking the Delete menu option will remove the annotation from the annotation layer.
Burn
Clicking the Burn menu option will cause the image to be re-rendered with the selected annotations embedded into it. Once annotations are burned they cannot be removed from the image.
Thumbnails
When you click an attachment to view, the individual pages of that attachment are shown in the Thumbnail Pane as small images called thumbnails. From this area using the Thumbnail Menu and the Stapler, you can add, remove, reorder, flag, or copy these thumbnails. Thumbnails can also be dragged to the attachment list to create a new attachment, to your desktop, or to an email.
The Thumbnail Menu
Right click a thumbnail image to show the menu. From the menu you can:
[pic]
Delete one or more thumbnails, Share (Email or save to your computer), Print, Add/Remove a Flag (change the color of the border around a thumbnail image), Move To (a New Page Number, a New Attachment, or an Existing Attachment), Copy To (a New Attachment or an Existing Attachment), Rotate (Left or Right), or use Document Cleaning (Despeckle, Deskew, or Remove Border) on one or more thumbnails.
The Stapler [pic]
The Stapler icon is located just above the thumbnail images in the Thumbnail Pane. The stapler works just like a stapler does with paper, but only for the thumbnail images. When the Stapler is locked the order of the thumbnails cannot be changed. To change the order of the thumbnail images, click the stapler button. Once you have clicked the Stapler button and the folder is locked for editing the thumbnail images can be reordered. After you have reordered the thumbnail images click “Save” to save your changes. (The page numbers will adjust automatically to reflect the new order of the thumbnails).

Tasks
Tasks
GreenFolders enables you to create Folder tasks for yourself or you can assign them to other users, or groups. Assigned tasks are shown on the “Tasks/Group Tasks” tabs on the “Home” tab to help organize the workflow of your organization.
The Tasks tab in the folder is divided into three sections: List of Tasks, Task Details, and Notes.
[pic]
List of Tasks
The Task list shows all tasks that have been added to the folder with: The User assigned to the Task, the Status, the Name, the name of the user that created the task, the date it was created and checkbox to complete the task. You sort the list ascending or descending by clicking any of the column headers.
Task Details
The Task Details area shown on the right side of the screen shows all the information for the task that is shown in the task and additional information including the Last Modified Date, Priority, etc, for the currently selected task. It also enables you to Assign, Copy, or Delete the task.
Notes
The last area of tasks, Notes, displays any notes that have been added to a task in a list. You can add a new note by clicking edit, and then the “Add Note” button. To delete a note, click Edit, then click the “X” (this requires you to have the Security Privileges for deleting). To modify a note, click Edit, then double click the note and the Edit Note box will be displayed. Make any changes you need and click ok. (You will need to click “Save” to save your changes).
Adding a New Task
There are three possible choices when adding tasks. 1) Adding a Free Form task is always available. 2) If your administrator has defined any Task Templates, you will be able to select one or more to add. Task Templates allow the administrator to define certain default information for when the Template is selected for addition to the Folder. 3) You may also have the option to add Task Lists if they have been set-up by your GreenFolders Administrator. Task Lists are pre-defined by your administrator and include multiple Task Templates which will all be added to the file at once when the task list has been selected.
To Add a New Task, click the “+” sign next to the Tasks tab and the Create Tasks window will appear:
[pic]
1. If you select a task\template\list on the left and make updates on the right, that item will immediately be checked on the left
2. If no task\templates\lists are checked, the "Create" button in the bottom left will be disabled.
3. Clicking the + next to "Free Form Tasks" will simply add another blank task to the list and select it immediately
4. Clicking on the "Task List" item in the left will show nothing on the right
5. The names in the left-hand list will never change. "Template 1" will always be "Template 1", and free form tasks are created as "New Task 1", "New Task 2", 3, 4, 5... etc.
6. Checking\Unchecking the Task List will check\uncheck all child task templates. If task templates under a task list are checked\unchecked the task list checkbox should be updated. If only some task templates are checked and not all, then the parent task list should show as half-checked
You will also have the ability to view and make changes to each Task before you add them to the Folder.
Choose/edit the Status and Priority, Enter/edit the Task Name and Description, choose/edit the Due Date (click the Calendar or type in the date) and Time (click the triangle and choose a time from the list). To assign the task to a user or group, click Assign To, then, select the user or group that will be responsible for completing the task from the list and click OK. Once you have finished, click “Create” and the task will be created in the Task List. (Note: New tasks are due the following day at 5:00 PM by default). Click “Save” to save the folder and user or group will receive a notification that they have a new task.
Change Due Date for multiple Tasks simultaneously
Select the tasks for which you want to change all due dates and right click to select the Change Due Date option. (You must be in Edit Mode for the option to become enabled). All tasks will share the same due date. This feature is available within each folder in the tasks section of the folder as well as on the home screen under your "Tasks" and "Group Tasks" default saved searches.
Linking a task
Right mouse click on the task you would like to link to another object. Select Link, then indicate with a check mark next to the object you would like to link to. If you would like to link the task to a website, select the "Web Link" tab and populate the URL with the website information.
Links [pic]
You can create a link from one Folder to another or even from a Folder to a website. You can also link Folders and objects from one Folder to objects in the same Folder or objects in another Folder. Objects that can be linked include Folder Notes, Attachments, Tasks and Messages. A right mouse click on the object you would like to link to another will provide the linking option. *Note: linking is not available on the Notepad or Inbox on the home screen.
The Folder will default to the current folder name you are linking from. Select the items you would like to link together and click OK.
When an item is linked to another, a link clip is displayed to identify the item or object as linked.
Link a Folder to a website!
